What software do I need to use the FrontPage Server Extensions Webserver (a.k.a IntraSun)?
You need Windows 95/98 and FrontPage 97/98/98b/2000, and your computer must either be connected to the campus network directly or via the College's dialup system.
Where can I get the file to upgrade my Frontpage 98 to FrontPage 98b?
You can download the update from the Microsoft Frontpage 98b update page.
How do I open my FrontPage 98/98b web on Intrasun?
Open your FrontPage Explorer and go to File | Open FrontPage Web...
From the dialog box that opens, click on the More Webs... button.
Type intrasun in the box and click on the List Webs
button.
Choose your web from here and click on the OK button.
How do I open my FrontPage 2000 web on Intrasun?
Before starting FrontPage 2000, open the My Computer icon on your
desktop.
Open Web Folders
Double-click on Add Web Folder
Type in your website name in the textbox (e.g. http://ssivy.intrasun.tcnj.edu)
Click the Next > button and provide the login and password previously
setup for your website.
Click the Finish button.
You only need to do the above steps once for each new website you have.
Now you should be able to go into FrontPage 2000 and select File | Open Web... and select the website you just setup.
What support for FrontPage and the FrontPage Server Extensions does Information Management provide?
Information Management supports the creation and deletion of FrontPage webs and management of the web server itself. Information Management currently does not provide support for the installation or use of FrontPage 97/98/98b as a web authoring/site management tool, nor does it provide the client software needed to use this site.
Can I have multiple webs on the Intrasun server?
Yes, typically your first web will reflect your Unix/e-mail login in the web name while your second would be a variations of it. It is suggested that if you want a web for a special project, you get an additional Unix/e-mail account for it and use that for your web site name. Intrasun website names are in the format of sitename.intrasun.tcnj.edu, where you can choose what you want "sitename" to be.
How do the Permissions... under the Tools menu in the FrontPage 98 Explorer work?
You can use the FrontPage Explorer to grant Administrator, Author and Browse permissions to your web site. The Users tab allows you to add accounts to your web site and choose what they can do. You may want to create individual "student" accounts or a single "class" account so that only your students can access your web site (browse only access). Or, you may want to allow a colleague to work on your web site too (author access).
It should be noted that the accounts you create here are separate and distinct from Unix/e-mail accounts. They do not need to match, although it is recommended so that the user doesn't need to remember another account name. Since they are stored in a file separate from the Unix account file, the passwords are maintained separately as well.
How about changing permissions under FrontPage 2000?
The permissions work the same as in FrontPage 98 (see previous question). You can get to them by selecting Tools | Security | Permissions... from the menu bar at the top of the window.
Does the Change Password... option under the Tools menu change my Unix/e-mail login password?
No, it only changes your FrontPage adminstrator/author/browse account password.
